There has been no body

she even went there. There
are no signs of a struggle
having taken place in the
vehicle, he says.

Staff Sergeant Tom Hill
says: “We have no evidence
to say she was there or that
she wasn’t. We are looking
at all aspects of it.”

He speculates over the
location of the car: “It could
be a good ploy to throw the
police off where the offence
had occurrred.”

At this stage, though, he
can't even say whether there
has been an offence.

“It is a missing person
(case) with unusual cir-
cumstances,” he says. “It is
distinctly a mystery.”

“You can’t determine
whether it is a homicide,
abduction, suicide or
whatever until you have
something to pomt you in
that direction.

“Until you have a body or

Police have found no

evidence to indicate suicide.

“Nothing in her back-
ground would suggest she
was despondent or ¢here
were any domestic rifts or
anything like that,” says Hilt.
“It is out of character for her
to just disappear. She has
